This might sound weird to some people, but it was so good I had to share it. I am a fellow redditor and was looking on there for low carb meal ideas and found this. Tuna, Cottage Cheese, and Avocado together is like a threesome meant to be together. It’s low carb and very filling. Did you know that one pouch of tuna has 70 calories, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 grams of sugar, and about 13 to 14 grams of protein to make the whole entire pouch 0 Smart Points? That is incredible! I always get the low sodium tuna pouches whenever I can find them in the grocery stores.
Protein = 32.12 grams!
That’s a lot of protein in just these 3 easy ingredients and it takes less than 2 minutes to prepare at work.

I have been doing this for years (since maybe 2009), but I use at least a half avocado, sometimes a whole one.
This is what I use and how I prepare.
1 four oz. can tuna with water, or veg oil depending on personal preference.
1 half to whole avocado.
2 Tsp low-fat cottage cheese.
Season with black pepper and hot sauce to personal preference.
Without pepper, or hot sauce is OK also, change it up here and there.
Add all ingredients except hot sauce to a medium sized bowl and mix.
After mixing with a spoon, top with hot sauce and enjoy.

That’s a good idea! Even more protein. 🙂

I sprinkled it with a bit of hemp seed. This is a fantastic recipe I also found on Reddit.
